J.C. Woodworking is the result of my love and passion for everything old. This business began as a furniture business and has grown, through inquiries by our own customers, into a business involving almost every aspect of Early American buildings. While I still build some pieces of furniture, most of my days are now spent locating high quality structures and materials from the 1700-1800’s. We are fortunate to be based in Pennsylvania, which houses some of the most beautiful and oldest structures in our country. I have had a natural curiosity for things of old since I was a small boy. In our hurried society, it is a great blessing that I have found a career which allows me to visit a simpler time and place and focus on my passion for history.
